OK, I have probably misworded the question. Let's say I have a record
defining fields "a" and "b". For simplicity, their permissible values
are ints.
As I understand it:
{ "a": 1 }
is not legal since "b" is not provided.
This:
{ "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3 }
is not legal either since "c" is not defined.
BUT: { "a": 1 } can be legal IF a default value is provided for "b".
Am I getting this right, partially right, completely wrong?
